Chương 21: ALONE AGAIN
Zarah Fable
It's only been about 4 days since James left. I held onto him as tight as I could. All I can think about is, what if they say no? I tried to put on a brave face and tell him that I will be ok since I have Kiki and Dani but the truth is, I want him there too. But if I told him that, he would only use it as fuel to drop out if it comes to that. Dani has been kind enough to let me stay at the house until we are able to figure things out further. My next appointment for the baby is next week and all I can think about is that James won't be there. Kiki and I decided to have a girls day together to help me get my mind off of things.
"So do you think that the university will let him transfer?"
"I don't know. I hope so. The last thing I want is for him to have to give up his dream."
"I know that, but what if that's the only option?"
I stay silent. If for some reason it comes to that, I guess I will just have to bear it on my own. Even if they say that he can transfer, I'm… still scared. There are so many questions that I haven't asked Gizelle about labor and giving birth. The one person who would have all of those answers are dead. And the other who could help me, hates me. I suddenly feel a hand on mine. I turn my head toward Kiki, who is sitting in the seat next to me as the two ladies do our toenails.
"Hey, I know you. Most likely better than you know you. You are not alone. No matter what happens with James and the college I will be right with you for whatever you need."
"I know. That's why you are my best friend."
I turn my head back to see the woman doing my feet staring at me. My glare caused her to look back down and continue what she was doing.
"So how did the last appointment go? Is my little niece or nephew doing well?"
"Yes they are fine."
I laugh and Kiki does as well. And that's when I feel it again. Like someone is staring at me. I turn my head to find that this time it's the lady at the counter staring at me. The lady doing my feet turns to get something and while she does so I shift myself in my seat to sit up more.
"Ok your feet are done. Head over to the third station from the window and I will meet you there."
"Is it alright if I use the bathroom first?"
"Sure, I'm sure you have to use the bathroom a lot now."
"Excuse me?"
"Nothing, It's right down the hall."
I get up and step down from the pedicure area and begin to walk to the bathroom. I find it, open the door, close and lock it behind me. I get done with what I have to do, unlock and open the door. I stop just short of the doorway when I hear two women talking in the back.
"Girl are you sure about that?"
"Yup, completely. Apparently she is not that far along."
"I still can't believe that she has the nerve to come into our place."
"I know right, I mean why in the world would we want to help a slut like her feel good about herself."
Slut? No one has called me that since Cassidy told me off about me being pregnant. How did they even know about that? It doesn't make sense.
I walk out to find Kiki at the front desk yelling at the woman standing there.
"I asked you a question. Now answer it!"
"As I already told you, we can not reveal the names of our customers!"
"Oh that's bullshit and you know it!"
"Hey what's going on here? Is everything Ok?"
"See now your little slut of a friend is back, so you can leave."
"Oh you are messing with the wrong person!"
Kiki attempts to leap over the counter to the woman but she pulls back and I grab Kiki around the waist to stop her. Eventually she stops trying to claw at the woman. I take out my card and swipe it to pay.
"Sorry but your card was declined."
"What? That can't be right."
I pull out my phone and go into my banking app to check the amount of money I have left. I open the app and it asks me to log in. I wouldn't let me use my face ID so I type in all of the information. What the hell? What does it mean the password is incorrect?
"Z, hello, what's going on?"
"It's not letting me into my account."
"Aww, did daddy cut you off?"
"Will you just shut you bitch? Hey, I got it this time."
Kiki takes out her card and it goes through. We leave the place and get to her car. That's when it pops up on my phone.
Notice: YOU HAVE BEEN LOCKED OUT OF THIS ACCOUNT. IF ANOTHER ATTEMPT TO GAIN ACCESS TO THIS ACCOUNT IS MADE THE AUTHORITIES WILL BE NOTIFIED AS THIS EMAIL NO LONGER HAS OWNERSHIP ON THIS ACCOUNT.
He locked me out. Dad locked me out of my own account!
